Customer Reviews
Baseball is alive, we think
Listening to y’all since the old podcast and always find myself coming back. Love hearing Dallas’ speeches and Joey’s humor and really enjoy the coverage on all storylines in baseball. A lot of podcasts will cover just the on-field stuff or just the business or just the social — y’all have it all. All 4 of you together really provide every perspective you could want!!
Knocking off one star bc I just can’t handle Jared’s ego sometimes — gotta keep ya humble. Go on and prosper boys.
Misleading
Weird to keep the old reviews and episodes after a complete rebranding… unfollowed after Baseball Is Dead ironically died.
Different podcast
Kind of lame to keep the reviews/episodes of an entirely different podcast and just change the name
